I used to rent a similar business unit, single layer corrugated asbestos roof (very high) and it was almost impossible to heat. A lot of the unit was storage and I had a work bench and desk in a corner of it, I constructed a very rudimentary frame from cheap thin wooden batons keeping the height to about 6ft6" and making a hit hinged door. I stapled polythene sheet to the frame and door and that was an enormous improvement.
The structure would have leaked a huge amount of heat but it was a massive jump from trying to heat the whole unit and made winter working bearable.
God I hated that place!!

You need a diesel heater you’ll be toasty

You need an infrared heater or something like that, heat the person not the space. I had one in the cellar in my old place because it was never going to be worth heating but I used to spend quite a bit of time tinkering in there.
This is what I had - £50 on eBay:

Surely you’re in battery powered clothing territory here, Ed?

-2°c inside my workshop this morning. It’s a repurposed turkey shed with 50mm of celotex, breeze block walls and many many gaps. Well below the working temp of my adhesives and generally fucking bleak in there this week. Wearing so many layers I can barely move.
I’ve got a bar heater in there but it only heats like 2ft in front of it, no way it’ll ever warm up the space.
